Question

i’m initializing and inserting into a list like so

_ARRAY_DETAIL* pAR = new _ARRAY_DETAIL;
pAR->sVar1 = 1;
pAR->nVar2 = 2;
m_SomeList.push_back(pAR);

i am trying to find and erase all from the list that contains the value 1, and then delete the pointer we created with new, is my example below doing both in a good, correct efficient way?

while(Iter != m_SomeList.end());
{
    if((*Iter)->sVar1 == 1) 
    {
        _ARRAY_DETAIL* pAR = *Iter;
        Iter = m_SomeList.erase(Iter);
        delete  pAR;    pAR = NULL;
    }

    Iter++;
}

Answer 1

as an alternative you could use remove if although what you have done seems fine.

 bool IsOne (_ARRAY_DETAIL* pAR) { 
   if(pAR->sVar1 == 1) {
    delete pAR;
    return true;
   }
   return false;
 }

 remove_if (vec.begin(), vec.end(), IsOne);
